Amwell Rotary Club joined with colleagues from the four other local Rotary Clubs for the 2011 Schools technology tournament held at Broxbourne Civic Hall on June 21st . Organised by the Rotary Club of Hoddesdon, this annual event challenges teams of 4 school children to design and build a device capable of performing a basic task as set out in the brief using only the materials provided.

For 2011, the basic challenge was to build a crane capable of being moved forward one meter before being activated remotely to raise a container and then return it to the starting line. The Intermediate challenge included a low bridge for the crane to pass under and the advanced challenge further complicated matters by requiring the load to be disengaged automatically.

The winning teams were from

Basic Category - Richard Hale
Intermediate - St.Edmunds College
Advanced - Chauncy
